Catherine Mercier
Occupational Therapist, her research focuses on sensorymotor functions and pain in a variety of clinical populations in rehabilitation (cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, stroke, amputation, chronic pain, etc.). Her laboratory works on the development of rehabilitation interventions and on the underestanding of underlying neurophysiological mechanisms to help technologies such as non-invalise brain stimulation, electrophysiology, virtual reality and robotics.

Université Laval
View profileNeurophysiologist, his research focuses on control and motor learning. His projects mainly involve interdisciplinary teams combining health sciences and engineering. His interests include understanding the control mechanisms involved in walking, the measurement of EMG and movement out of the laboratory setting, the improvement of clinical tests with the help of portable captors, the characterization of muscular fatigue during complex movements as well as the use of exoskeletons and software in rehabilitation.

View profileOccupational Therapist, her research focuses on manual functions in individuals with movement disorders in order to optimize rehabilitation interventions aimed at upper limbs in children and teenagers with neurological deficits, as well as in adults with muskuloskeletal problems. She is also interested in better understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms related to movement control and in the development of new assistive technologies facilitating the performance of activities of daily living in a more autonomous way.
Maxime Robert
Professor Robert is interested in motor learning and control in children with cerebral palsy, and identifying neurological biomarkers that predict motor function in children's upper limbs.
Martin Simoneau
Researcher working to better understand the sensorimotor mechanisms and brain-movement interactions involved in motor learning and control. He uses a variety of tools such as electroencephalography and electromyography, or kinematic and kinetic tools to study sensitimotor control in healthy individuals or people living with a physical disability or cognitive disorder.
